Happy 100th Day of School!

Dear Parents,

It was great to see everyone at our STEAM night. Thank you for supporting not only our third graders but all the amazing things our CCE students are doing! Fun was had by all, and I loved watching all the families explore together.

Happy Birthday to Luke last Monday!

Congratulations to Aattoja for participating and placing in the Science Fair!

YUMMY!!!  Thank you to the PTA for providing the faculty and staff with a delicious luncheon Friday.  These Friday Feasts are very much appreciated.

Happy 100th day of school! It is hard to believe that the 100th day of school is Friday, February 1st!  We have learned a lot in 100 days and are very excited to celebrate our accomplishments. 

Enjoying your children,
Mrs. McDonald

January Character Trait: HELPFUL

SAY CHEESE
Just a reminder that our class picture will be taken on Thursday, January 31st. Payment envelopes went home in the Tuesday folder and are due on or before picture day. Let me know if you need another envelope.

VALENTINE’S DAY PARTY
Valentine’s bags and a class list were sent home in last week’s Tuesday folder. I hope your children have been thinking of a creative way to decorate their box/bag. 

Boxes are due in class on Wednesday, February 13th. Valentine cards may be brought to school starting on that same date. Please be sure your child prepares a Valentine card for every student in the class. Our class list was included in last week’s Tuesday folder,. Since Valentine's Day is a party day, your child may attach a small piece of candy or treat to their Valentine cards.

PARENT SURVEY
If you haven’t already done so, please take a few minutes and do the parent survey. This provides such great feedback to our school and we love to know what you are liking about CCE and suggestions on how we can continue to grow and do the best for all our students. It is quick and easy and greatly appreciated. You can find the parent survey here.

HOMEWORK
Planners are completed daily.  Please check and initial your child’s planner nightly.

Students are required to read for a minimum of 20 minutes per night and record a quick response on their reading logs. Signed logs are DUE every Wednesday. Book Bucks are earned with every 100 minutes read. Students can “purchase” books from our “Book Buck Libraries” with 10 book bucks.

Nightly reading is crucial to your child's overall reading success. Reading should be an interactive process, so please remember to initial or sign your child's log before turning it in on Wednesday.

Students should practice math skills 10 minutes nightly.  This could be anything from Education Galaxy, to flashcards or even a series of problems written by a parent. 

Each FRIDAY students will receive spelling lists and work. Practice spelling the words correctly and complete the homework packet due each THURSDAY. Spelling Tests will be administered on Fridays.
